according to Norton I got an attack from 65.54.240.61, MICROSOFT CORP.

It was the "Master Paradise" trojan. WTH??

It's probably nothing but I got that right after I installed MSN Messenger 6.0.

Nah, it's their MSN servers probing your PC. Typical Microsoft MO. You can safely ignore it. Or just use Trillian and not have to bother with their attempted spying on your PC. :D

Of course you do realise that trillian still uses Microsoft's and AOL's servers.

Yes, I realize that, but Trillian also doesn't have 3000 holes in it big enough to drive a Mack truck through. Big different. They don't pack Trillian with tons of useless garbage that causes countless security holes. Just the basics.
